Shannon asked:


We bought an antique bookcase and later discovered it has bugs in it. They are eating the wood and leaving little piles of sawdust. They are very small and brown with little wings - they sort of resemble weevils. (I do not think they are termites.)

How do we kill them? Do we have to get rid of the bookcase? And, are we in danger of them spreading to other pieces of furniture or our hardwood floors?

Please help! Thanks.

   cover it with a tarp and use a fogger. lots of options there. I’d use a “no mess” type. still I’d wipe it down with Murphy’s Oil Soap after.
